39 MV vs LV Drives: Some Conclusions For drives > 1000 HP, MV makes sense For long cable runs, MV makes sense For drives < 500 HP, LV makes sense. If low system harmonics are required, LV filter or multi-pulse expense can favor MV over LV. In the range 500 to 1000 HP the various application & installation factors apply.

81 High Efficiency Plate Heat Exchanger for IGBTs How it works Devices are mounted to side of plates Current flow generates heat in devices With only a few degrees of temperature rise, coolant is vaporized within the plate Vapor rises to the top condensing unit passages Heat is removed by airflow over fine fins, which liquefies coolant Coolant returns to base of chill plate for next cycle November 2004 TMGE Automation Systems - All rights Reserved 81

82 High Efficiency Heat Pipe Exchanger for IGBTs Advantages Liquid-cooled performance is achieved with air-cooled simplicity! Low IGBT-to-plate thermal resistance keeps IGBTs cool Minimized temperature fluctuations during operation maximize IGBT life up to 10x Sealed system is maintenance free Like the proven GE Innovation Series heat pipe design, but even more effective, with a larger active surface November 2004 TMGE Automation Systems - All rights Reserved 82

83 Inside a Typical Power IGBT This example: 400 amp, 1700 Volt. Inside the package, many individual devices paralleled with bonding leads. Thermal cycling from wide load cycle can cause fatigue failure of bonds due to expansion and contraction Heat plate, like liquid cooling, keeps mounting plate surface more even during load cycles. Minimized temperature fluctuations during operation maximize IGBT life up to 10x November 2004 TMGE Automation Systems - All rights Reserved 83

84 By-Pass Contactor Compartment Requires optional additional cubicle integrated into drive line up Contactors are interlocked to allow drive by-pass and connect motor across the power lines Cubicle extension houses both input and output contactors Allows full speed motor operation from utility power if drive is not available.

85 Dura-Bilt5i MV Display Unit Parameter Editing Intuitive menu interface for parameter editing Drive Status Graphic screen displays key variables in bar chart format with additional status icons Status Indicators Give quick indication of drive operation, without requiring separate panel lamps Control System Toolbox Interface Mbps Ethernet can be multi-drop networked - access to GE 24-7 on-site monitoring Signal Monitor Analog signals for test instrumentation Local Drive Control Dedicated keys for local control of the drive for commissioning and maintenance activities November 2004 TMGE Automation Systems - All rights Reserved 85

86 Integrated Trend Window Drag and drop variables Real time trending or archiving to buffer for historical trending Auto scaling Zoom in/out function Different views by using variable hide feature Analyze specific time with cross hair Frequency-based analysis of trend with fast Fourier transform function Easy to Understand Data Structure: Drive parameters and variables in tree structure World Class TMGE Control System Toolbox Supplied with Every Drive! Animated Block Diagrams Same Toolbox as all GE System Drives and Many Exciters! November 2004 TMGE Automation Systems - All rights Reserved 86

87 Summary & Conclusions ASDs offer superior motor control MV Drives can make sense at even modest HP levels MV Drives have come a long way MV drives using MV IGBTs have simplest control MV Drive Reliability needs to be built in, not added on November 2004 TMGE Automation Systems - All rights Reserved 87
